On: Ask HN: scan Macbook / OS X machine for malware

[suitcase]

Time machine backup then reinstall OSX. Then be wary about what applications and utilities you reinstall.

I would wipe the router and reinstall that just in case.

It's possible that the backup could carry over malware depending on the type of malware.

Possible, but unlikely.

Has any such malware been seen in the wild (by creditable sources) as oppose to just proof of concept?
